I never had a clue what our allowances were or how SQ worked them out as I could not be bothered with such mundane matters. The local F/O's knew to the nearest cent what they were if I could ever have been bothered to ask them. I like to think that I had my mind on a higher "plane"
I had to be be reminded to taxi slowly on arrival back at base so that the cabin crew could get a free ride home after a certain time of night.. As we had a taxi allowance free transport was not worth having ( unless you lived on the west side) as it usually meant waiting for at least one other person who was usually the last to come out of the crewroom!!
Talking of local F/O's I well remember one day when we had son of LKY on board, long before he became PM with his two boys I think they were. They visited the flight deck and the F/O gave them both a piece of chewing gum to take back to their seats!!! I had a good chuckle about that.
